"RadioWeave will drive the reinvention of radio," said Brent Noorda, co-founder and CEO of RadioWeave’s parent company, YiqYaq. "Today consumers expect and demand the ability to filter and tailor everything they see, read and listen to online, where we spend a majority of our time. Radio has yet to fully confront this fundamental cultural shift, and RadioWeave is the solution that will give our users total control over their listening experience, blending multiple types of audio content into one personalized streaming experience."
Upon registering for the free service, RadioWeave users can immediately begin listening to public or private content libraries and micro-channels including everything from national and local news, sports, weather and traffic reports to music, podcasts and other professional content. These libraries and micro-channels are then blended together into a single, personalized audio stream that can be controlled by an easy-to-use tuner. RadioWeave also allows users to produce and upload their own content, and comment and react to professional content by sharing their own audio and podcasts. Users can listen to their social media updates utilizing RadioWeave’s text to speech engine to read their Twitter tweets and in the future, Facebook status updates and email messages as well.
Noorda continued : "RadioWeave not only fulfills listeners’ demand for customized radio, but provides a valuable solution for advertisers. It will provide accurate numbers of listeners in real-time, comprehensive user demographics and the ability for content providers to micro-target their messaging to select groups of relevant and receptive listeners."
